My state legalized air rifle hunting this season. I have a .25 skyhawk that loves gto's. Stacks them out to 50 yards. My .25 huntsman loves the h&n greens. Same accuracy out to 50 yards. Don't know what twist they are but they are accurate.
I killed squirrels with both and they were just as effective as any lead pellets. Longest shot was 60 yards. They hit with a loud smack and they all dropped dead.
They are shooting in the 900 fps. Either the twist rate is just right for the speed and or they grip the rifling just right.
Here we go! My state requires a minimum of .45 cal and minimum of 200 gr bullet for big game.
Could you pair a light weight lead free slug(200 to 300 gr) in a .45 to .72 cal with a twist rate for good accuracy at high speeds?
Also, can a lead free slugs be designed to fragment better?
My .25 lead free pellets killed better than my rainstorm and AEA max in .30 cal with lead slugs. I feel the speed was to slow and they just went right through.
Any thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.
